Believe it or not, a lot of Prescription meds came from Herbs. I don't believe that you should use anything long term especially sleep meds. You need to know the reason behind why you cannot sleep. Sometimes it is worry,anxiety,pain,disruptions like baby crying or whatever. if you need these meds every night, that is a huge problem. It is too simple to pop a pill instead of finding out why you are not able to sleep. With alcoholics trying to dry out, that is the reason they have trouble sleeping, they want the booze.

Just for the record, I mentioned above that my reason was jet lag and international travel over as many as 12 times zones. I don't think I'd rely on any herbal remedy for that, when I know that a prescribed and legal medication works without flaw.
